Celebrity Big Brother 2011: Meet the new housemates

Big Brother is back! YESSSSSSS!

It’s got a new home – hello Channel 5 – but the idea is still the same. Cramming a house full of, pampered, egotistical, daft, and often downright bonkers celebrites and letting us, the TV-viewing public, sit back and laugh/cringe/hide behind the sofa at the results.

We’ll introduce you to the new celebrity housemates as they enter BB’s domain one by one.

Get ready… it’s gonna be good…

 It’s impossible to not know who she is! Ex of Brian McFadden, winner of I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here, recent acquisition of Can Associates and now Max Clifford, Kerry has been everywhere this year. Going through bankruptcy then attempting to bounce back, we can’t wait 'til Kerry has some booze and spills some naughty celeb secrets!

Newlywed Tara Reid (she only tied the knot over the weekend) found fame as virginal Vicky in the American Pie movies, but she’s probably best know for her wild, party girl lifestyle.

The 35-year old actress has admitted to undergoing plastic surgery procedures in the past including liposculpting.

Weird fact! Tara got engaged and married on the same day while holiday in Greece, and even her official rep got the identity of her husband wrong at first.

You remember Paddy Doherty, right? The larger-than-life former bare-knuckle boxer was one of the stars of Channel 4’s My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.

Paddy, 52, will be swapping life with the travelling community for life with a bunch of pampered celebrities – it’s going to be quite a culture shock for the no-nonsense hard man.

Amy's been on our TV for less than a year. But what a year it's been! Storming onto our screens in The Only Way is Essex, Amy is now better known for her rivalry with Jordan, her fake tan, and her extensive lashes. Oh and for the phrase "Oh Shuuutttuuuupp!".

We reckon she's going to be a lot of fun, and who knows, as she's now single, maybe we'll see a cheeky little romance?

Celeb Paparrazzo extra-ordinaire. He owns one of the biggest picture agencies in the world and supplies pap photos to people like us.

We happen to know that Mr. Lyons is a chronic name-dropper and counts Simon Cowell as a ‘close friend’. He is brimming with celebrity secrets and we can’t wait to see if he spills any!

Don’t let the fact that Sally Bercow is a politician’s wife fool you – we reckon she could be one of this year’s most interesting housemates.

Sally might be married to the Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow but that didn’t stop her posing for London paper The Evening Standard cover in just a bed sheet. Sal later said of the shoot, "It was just meant to be a bit of fun, but obviously it has completely backfired on me and I look a complete idiot.”

Weird fact! Sally got in big trouble when she lied on her CV about completing a degree at Oxford – she actually dropped out in her two years at the university. Oh, and she's an ex alcoholic!

Other than having one of the poshest-sounding names we’ve ever heard, 19-year-old Waterloo Road actor Lucien Laviscount is the proud owner of some seriously chiselled cheek bones and pouty lips – the man is fit.

Lucien played the role of Ben Richardson on Coronation Street between February and December 2009, and also appeared in episodes of Grange Hill back in 2088, but the Lancashire cutie is probably best know as Jonah Kirby in Waterloo Road

Weird fact! Lucien has also been romantically linked to Big Brother 10 winner Sophie Reade

Say hello to David Hasselhoff’s ex-wife, actress Pamela Bach

Tulsa-born Pamela was married to The Hoff 17 years, and had two daughters, Taylor-Ann and Hayley, with the Baywatch star.

Pamela’s been in trouble with the law for drink driving, she was arrested in November 2008 for a DUI and again in March 2009. In Apri; 2010 she was sentenced to a 90-day jail term after pleading no contest in another drunk-driving case.

Weird Fact! The Hoff isn’t the Hasseloff who’s big in Germany. Pamela has won the Otto Award in recognition for being one of Germany’s favourite actresses

Ok, when we heard this name, we didn't know who he was either. And as this is Celeb Big Brother, that's sort of a negative. However, we are happy to report that, having done our research we know can confirm that he's a model with Elite Model Management and he's hot. He's really hot. Could he be the most attractive housemate yet? We're going to enjoy seeing him in his boxers every morning, let's hope he's not too much of a poser thoug

It's Jedward. We knew they were going in, we love them. That's it really. Now all we want to know is, what will they wear???? *crosses fingers and prays for matching outfits at all times*
